About this tour

Medellín is the capital of Colombian fashion: this is where the jeans and lingerie factories that dress the continent actually are, alongside world-class malls like Santa Fe and El Hueco — the downtown shopping district where locals buy at a third of mall prices if they know where to look.

The tour is built around the vehicle waiting for you: you shop, you come out with bags, you leave them in the car and you keep going. No taxis with shopping bags, no negotiating fares, no carrying purchases around all day. Tell us what you are looking for — leather, jeans, lingerie, coffee, emeralds, souvenirs — and we build the route around it.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the shopping tour cost?
USD $85 (about $350,000 COP) for the private vehicle, up to 4 people, for 4 to 5 hours with unlimited stops. Each extra hour is USD $12.
Is El Hueco safe?
It is a busy downtown commercial area and it works fine with normal city precautions. You go with a driver who knows where to park and which streets are worth walking.
What is Medellín actually good for buying?
Jeans and lingerie (the factories are here), leather goods, coffee, emeralds and handicrafts. Prices at the factory outlets are noticeably lower than at the malls.
Can you keep my shopping bags in the car?
Yes, that is exactly the point of the tour. You leave everything in the vehicle between stops and keep going with your hands free.
